problem binding to AD with known-good credentials

[jacob m. <mar...@gm...>]

I am unable to bind to an Active Directory system using python-ldap.

I created a user in AD with search rights and am able to do a simple
bind with the java-based "LDAP Browser" and search/browse the
directory with those credentials.

When I try to do a simple bind to the directory with python-ldap I
don't get an exception, but when I try to perform the search, I get an
exception indicating I didn't bind successfully:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./tmp", line 29, in ?
    search_ad(email='us...@do...',password='passwd')
  File "./tmp", line 20, in search_ad
    result_type, result_data = l.result(ldap_result_id, 0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line
399, in result
    res_type,res_data,res_msgid = self.result2(msgid,all,timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line
405, in result2
    return self._ldap_call(self._l.result2,msgid,all,timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 94,
in _ldap_call
    result = func(*args,**kwargs)
ldap.OPERATIONS_ERROR: {'info': '00000000: LdapErr: DSID-0C090627,
comment: In order to perform this operation a successful bind must be
completed on the connection., data 0, vece', 'desc': 'Operations
error'}

I am attaching the script that generated this exception.  Am I missing
something?

Thanks!
